Small wedge steer parallel to finish.

Let me explain how to do this. I’m starting by brushing out my uphill ski to create a little bit of a wedge stand on that foot, and then allow the other heel to come in behind.

So follow me and I’ll show you what I mean. So parallel at the end, brush out the heel, make a bit of a wedge parallel. Brush out the heel, bit of a wedge to parallel. Brush it out.

I’m standing on that downhill ski. Bring it into parallel. Bring the uphill heel together and you’ll end parallel.

I look forward to meeting you on the slopes.

From Snow Valley, I’m Pamela Disera.
